You've brought up option theory as an argument against suicide already. Stop that. If I tortured you until you sold all your stocks, you'd damn well sell them immediately.
There must be some lag between when you start torturing me and when I sell my stocks or I would never get tortured. My understanding of option theory might increase this lag by delaying when I give in to torture.
